Every year, a drone photography competition is held within the Siena Awards for Visual Arts.
This year, the winning photos were selected from tens of thousands of photos submitted by professional photographers from 102 countries.
The photo, titled “Footed Geese Meet the Winter,” by Norwegian photographer Terje Kolas, took first place. It was a scene of pink-footed geese flying towards Svalbard in the North Pole.
